Fix Netgear WNDA 3100v3 WiFi Dongle on Ubuntu 16.04

16.04netgearnetworkingusbwireless

First, I have read all of the following, and they get close to helping, but I can't comment requesting more help because I don't have enough beans.

I have gone through the steps of installing the drivers from https://github.com/jurobystricky/Netgear-A6210, but nothing happens. Installed drivers for my adapter but its not working is the most helpful, but confusing. Could someone pick up where they left off in the last comments? They start talking about encryption, but I just need help getting the drivers to work. What info do you need? My brain hurts from trying to clarify and anticipate questions.

I have gone through the steps of installing the drivers from https://github.com/jurobystricky/Netgear-A6210, but nothing happens.

That driver is the only correct driver I know of for your system. It compiles perfectly on my 16.10 system. It creates a driver mt7662u_sta. Does the driver load without error or warning if you load it?

sudo modprobe mt7662u_sta

NOTE: This is not a complete answer; I will edit it as we gather further diagnostics.
